'This is an excellent book, in some ways an important book. It offers multiple riches to the international relations, security studies and European studies communities...The book is a tour de force and it will become the standard starting point for subsequent attempts to re-interpret this impossibly confusing yet fundamentally seminal period.' - Jolyon Howorth, International Affairs
